Volunteering

At Poplar HARCA we recognise and value the immense contribution that volunteering adds to society.

Volunteering offers multiple benefits all round; for the individual and their families, the organisation and the wider community as a whole.

There are so many ways to get involved, from leading a community group to supporting one of our fantastic events. With both one-off and ongoing roles, there’s something for everyone.

Whether you can give a few hours or a few months, the time you can offer will be put to good use, right here in Poplar.
